Re: Useful Grip Training Article
I wish. But wrong Martin !!! There is another Martin on both Gripboards. Confusing since we are both in Europe as well. So sorry to disappoint guys. I hope to close the 3 early next year.

Re: Useful Grip Training Article
I just received my second order!! I went a little overboard but I would have lost the money if I had moved up limits anyhow! rofl
I got the BOA weighted skipping rope the Hol-it-up Dumbbell bar the CC trainer (100lb) and sport (80lb) models the hand gripper helpers the expand your hand bands the eagle loops the dexterity balls level 1 and 2 and the Mastery of Hand Strength book Yah I over did it. I have not been doing much training with the #1 gripper that I had. I could not close it and I hurt both of my pinky fingers by trying to hard to often. That's what I think happened anyway. Both pinkies felt like I severely sprained them for about 5 days after I stopped trying the #1. They almost feel normal now. I have been doing pinch lifts with some plates I had laying around and some wrist curls also. I'm happy I got the easier grippers. I can close them for reps and it is much more fun. The #1 was just to hard for me to be trying so often. I will still do negatives with the #1. I will be taking things slow till I read the book and am sure my poor pinkies have recovered fully. I also need to read those boards more there is so much info there. Just wanted to brag about my new toys and let you all know I'm in for the long haul I'm just slow out of the gate.

[img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Cool! You really did get lots of stuff. I know the feeling when looking at stuff like that -- real hard not to buy the store! But the nice thing is, it's almost all super durable and will give a lot of value for the money. I hear the Kinney chapter in the CoC book is very cool. You really should check the grip boards regularly. The training info and exchange of ideas on them is incredible. Getting the easier grippers is cool; they'll help you lay a foundation of general strength, and build up the toughness of your soft tissue. That will help prevent future injury. They'll also help you build up vascularity once they get too easy for you, if you do them for high reps, which will help your future increases in strength and hand/forearm mass. Plus, you can file away part of the handles to make them tougher if they ever get too tough. This is for "overcloses," which is a common technique to help people master the last part of the close. Good luck on your pinkies. Remember to do the contrast baths -- they are astoundingly good for your hands. Really, if you haven't gotten into them -- get into them! It's amazing how well and how fast they work. It's become clear to me that they actually form a central part in gripper training. Don't do them, and you can probably expect to spend at least twice as long on your strength goals. Seriously. What's that Hol-it-up dumbbell like? I was curious about those, and wasn't really sure from the Ironmind description what it was like. I've been doing some more higher rep work the last few work-outs, myself. I want to build up some general vascularity, tendon and ligament growth, and soft tissue toughness. Doing negatives on the #2 and #3 can feel like someone is stepping on my fingers and grinding in their heels. I've got to get my skin and nerve endings adapted, and some high rep work could more gently help build that up too. When I do hard negatives, I want to be saying ouch from the muscle and tendon strain, not from the pressure making all the nerve endings in my skin cry for mommy. Keep plugging away Stuey! Fill us in on how you like your new toys!
